I am a young, petite female above knee amputee with a very short limb.
I lost my left leg as an infant due to a blood clot. I have always worn a hip
disartic style prosthesis with a safety knee. I experienced lots of back pain
and
heat rash. My clothes never fit right because of the extra bulk. I was very self-conscience
about my walk and appearance.
Advanced Prosthetics helped me to get a C-leg and fit me with a lock & pin
suspension
prosthesis. The reduced weight of the prosthesis has greatly lessened my back
discomfort and improved my gait. The prosthesis more clearly matches my silhouette,
so my clothes fit better. I feel so much more confident in my appearance.
Thanks to Phillip, Scot and Advanced Prosthetics!
